STOKE LANE ‘A’ 2
FRY CLUB COLTS 1
A break
from the league fixtures saw us drawn against a team that were in our division
last season so we already knew enough about them to know we could win.
Despite
a bright start, we conceded a goal from a set piece. A good fight back saw us
create one or two chances but just before half time a second goal was scored to
put us 2-0 down at the break.
A
challenge was laid down to win the second half and we started far more
positively, dominating large periods. Both Oli
Randall and Mo Bouaziz were having good influences in midfield and from this
James Boulton pulled a goal back to set up and
exciting last 20 mins. A further chance was cleared
off the line from James Boulton and despite our efforts, we just couldn’t score the deserved second
goal to force extra time. Stoke Lane just held on for an unlikely victory.
Credit must go the players who rose to the half time challenge and almost pulled it off.
For a
very good midfield performance, Man of the Match was awarded to Mo Bouaziz.
Cup run over for another year at least.
